Healing Recipes Project

We invite you to contribute a piece to âHealing Recipes Project,â Womenâs Creative Collectiveâs ongoing zine project and dialogue about personal healing recipes. This zine is being created in conjunction with âLa ManifestaciÃ³nâ SkillShare Retreat (May 20-â¦22) and other in-person writing workshops. This is a transnational project, so it doesnât matter where you are, you can contribute!

This week encompasses a variety of prompts because we are a variety of voices. For this last week, lets discover the endless possibilities of telling our stories, showing our perspectives, and exploring our creativity. Here are several directions to go in:

The full moon of this month is this Friday, February 18th !Â The moon has long been associated with the subconscious, intuition, imagination, and madness. It could be a source of bewilderment, increase sensitivities, or simply be our source of light in darkness. Our connection to the dream world is heightened Â around the full moon. This week keep an account of your dreams, explore your senses(taste,touch, smell), find something hidden in the world of shadows with your writing.

Some dream promptsâ¦

What worlds do you dream about?

Recall a character from a dream. Sit quietly for a few minutes â go back into the dream space until you have a strong impression of the character. Write about them, as them, or to them.

Recall an object from a dream, what does it feel like, taste like, smell like? What importance does it have to you?

Feb 11thWomen’s Creative Collective will be celebrating the week of loveÂ with discussion around positive affirmation, self pleasure,Â anal stimulation,Â sex toys, and more.Â Â In order to help usÂ delve into the world of body positve, fun,Â open sexual pleasure,Â Cucci, a sexÂ toy company willÂ be focusing on anal stimulation along with an interactiveÂ workshopÂ to help explore topics aroundÂ erogynyÂ andÂ masterbation.

Confused, feel like you need more info………. well come to the workshop, duh :) Also bring a little cash if you would like to buy any pleasure toys!

Communication is an everyday exertion. Creating a bridge of meaning from one mind to the next is a pervasive effort with barriers to overcome. This week lets explore the simplicity and intricacy of one-to-one communication.

Write a series of letters. They could be addressed to someone you love, an ancestor, a place, a fictional character, someone you wish you knew better or have trouble talking to, a tree, an animalâ¦an audience of one.

February 1st is National Freedom Day in the United States – an overlooked, warped, and of course historically problematic holiday, but as we start writing in a month marked by the complexity of progress and emancipation, lets explore our ideas of freedom. This week write about boundaries to freedom, as well as pathways to freedom as you experience them or witness them through nurture, neglect, action, and reflectionâ¦.

SpecificÂ Beginnings….
1.Â Â What hungers do you have and how do you feed them?
2.Â Â What animals are inside of you, do they come out to play?
3.Â Â When do you feel free?

Let’s keep the new year’s spirit alive! We will be learning self body-scan techniques to identify our strengths that will lead us well into the year. We will be constructing vision boards to create the world we’d like to see. Â And participating in some exciting activities to find wisdom and guides to support our journeys this year!
